The Madden 10 Online Franchise app for the iPhone will not be out until sometime in September. Apparently delays have caused it to be pushed back from the intended release alongside the game.
The Gamestop preorder incentive for NBA Live 10 is now known and thankfully it is not tied to a demo or any particular game feature. Instead it will be a copy of the soundtrack given away.
ESPN takes an amusing look at the lowest rated players at each position or category to put together the worst possible team in Madden 10.
Grand Slam Tennis for the 360/PS3 has been delayed indefinitely. The reason being provided is that the team is working on the expansion for EA Sports Active. It would not surprise me though if GST has been scraped outright however.
FIFA 10 release date has shifted to 10/20 after initially being slated for the first week of October. No surprise there since EA was not going to release two games the same week (NBA Live 10).
A big deal was made out of a press conference to announce the signing of a legend to EA Sports MMA this past weekend. That legend ended up being Randy Couture, who we not only have been aware was attached to the game for months now but was also known to be the cover representative.

A copy of the soundtrack… NOW these guys are thinking! That is something I'd be willing to pre-order.
Although, not for a basketball game 'cause I know it will be full of hip-hop noise (releasing the soundtrack list before hand would help), but I do think this is a great idea for game companies in general. I'm hoping this goes well enough that EA would consider something like this for games like Mass Effect (curse you EA for buying BioWare.. you better not screw them up!) I was really wanting a soundtrack album for NHL09, a lot of great stuff on that one.
Anyway, I think this is a great idea and hope they (and other companies… 2kBoston… BioShock2 please) follow suit. It could be good for sales.
Well, for one, here – http://www.ea.com/music/the-official-nba-live-10-...
And for two, I'd prefer a demo similar to what EA did for Madden 10. If I want a song off a videogame soundtrack, I'll just find it on my own, plus a lot of the songs in sports games have been around for years, anyway. Easy finds, usually.
the extended demo was dumb. that should have been for everybody, that's the point of a demo. I mean really… now that the game is out, what did I get for my pre-order? essentially nothing. If I had gotten the soundtrack, I'd still have that AND the game.
While I'm not surprised about Grand Slam Tennis being delayed indefinitely on 360/PS3, I'm disappointed because it's a great game on the Wii, and if it looked more sim-like and had various shot types mapped to either the right stick or face buttons, with the game physics aleady seen on the Wii, it could've been outstanding. It didn't sell well on the Wii, so that might have something to do with the infinite delay. I think they should've named it after a player. PGA Tour Golf 10 doesn't sound as popular as Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10. So maybe Andy Roddick ATP Tennis 10 as opposed to Grand Slam Tennis could've helped.
^Don't use them unless u tweak them in NCAA with beast stats with 99 99 99 or u will get terrible ratings. QBS get f#$%ed up because of the Short PASS MEDIUM PASS DEEP PASS. RBS WRS AND CBS AS WELL WITH SPEED.
